Before Using the Software > DTSX3000 Control Visualization Software LAS 2.0 Data Conversion Function Description Data Host data server LAS data CSV data HTTP (S) protocol This software DCS HMI software Monitoring HMI software Control and LAS data conversion Protocols: - SSH - SCP(SFTP) Configuration data HMI software Monitoring Ethenet DTSX3000 Control Visualization Software LAS 2.0 Data Conversion runs on a PC connected to a DTSX Series via Ethernet. It is used for converting measurement data of the DTSX Series to LAS version 2.0 formatted files (hereafter called LAS files). It also has a function for data conversion into CSV formatted files (hereinafter called CSV files) (The CSV file option is only supported by the DTSX3000). It provides functions for editing the following settings: (1) Settings for data output to LAS/CSV files (2) Settings for LAS/CSV output file configuration (3) Settings for LAS/CSV file transmission to a host data server In addition, it provides the following DTSX Series control functions: (4) Starting and stopping LAS/CSV file conversion DTSX Series supports SFTP/SCP server functions and settings (1) to (3) above are synchronized between the DTSX Series and this software. These settings are downloaded to this software when it is connected to DTSX Series and uploaded to DTSX Series when conversion is started using (4). Moreover, DTSX Series settings are downloaded to this software at the beginning of conversion. Doing so allows each instance of this software to be synchronized with the DTSX Series settings even when multiple users are controlling the same DTSX Series. When conversion is started, the DTSX Series converts measurement result data of each subsequent measurement into a LAS/CSV file according to uploaded settings (2) and (3) and stores the converted LAS/CSV files in its internal memory.

8 < 1. Before Using the Software > 2 LAS/CSV files stored in the DTSX Series can be transmitted to a host data server using HTTP and HTTPS client functions, which are supported by the DTSX Series. SEE ALSO For more information, read the DTSX3000 Guide (IM39J06B40-01E) and the DTAP3000 Guide (IM39J02B40-01E). IMPORTANT - Up to eight instances of the DTAP3000, DTAP3000D and DTAP3000 LAS2.0 (this software) software applications combined can be run concurrently on a PC. - However, running multiple instances of the applications on a PC may slow down response time significantly due to heavy processing load so the use of a powerful PC is recommended if concurrent execution is required. - Up to four users of the DTAP3000, DTAP3000D and DTAP3000 LAS2.0 (this software) software applications combined can be connected to the DTSX3000 concurrently. - Up to four users of the DTAP3000, DTAP3000D and DTAP3000 LAS2.0, DTAP200, DTAP200D and DTAP200 LAS2.0 (this software) software applications combined can be connected to the DTSX200 concurrently. - Uploaded settings are saved even if the DTSX Series is shutdown or rebooted. However, for a DTSX200 installed with conversion functions for multiple formats, only the settings of the last conversion executed are saved while the settings of the other conversions are initialized when the DTSX200 is shutdown or rebooted. For instance, for the sample sequence operations given below, the WITSML conversion settings are saved but the LAS2.0 conversion settings are initialized: (1) Start LAS2.0 conversion (2) Stop LAS2.0 conversion (3) Start WITSML conversion (4) Stop WITSML conversion (5) Reboot DTSX200 - The DTSX200 only supports LAS file format
